st: Categorical axis labels with -graph dot- and -by-
Date

I'm having a problem getting exactly the graph I want with -graph dot- and the -by-
option. Here is an example using the nlsw88 data set:
sysuse nlsw88, clear
graph dot wage, over(occ ) by(race, rows(2) holes(2))
I'd like to have the categorical axis labels (the occupations) shown only once in each row
(not be repeated as they are in the example graph for the "other" race).
I haven't found a way to do this in the documentation for -graph dot- or -graph hbar-. I
have read the manual's advice about use of -over- rather than -by- with dot or hbar
graphs, but in my situation -by- looks to be right among other reasons because I have two
-over- categories and two yvars I wish to plot.
Thank you,
Dave Harless
